The officiating was horrible and inconsistent. They started the game calling EVERYTHING, and ended by calling NOTHING (other than the obvious stuff that they couldn't overlook). I hate the touchy stuff away from the ball that gets called. I don't care if it's on us or the other team, let the kids play ball.

If only Tennessee fans handled this with the class that Peyton did. While I'm sure he was disappointed, he never let on and seemed sincere offering his congratulations to Charles. I've always been impressed with Manning... except for that time he hung his nutsack off a female trainer's head (allegedly).

His floater over Bamba was a thing of beauty, but the luck factor was in MAAR's favor tonight (look at his banked 3 pointer as evidence). If you look closer at the first play however, a dish to Moe would have been a dunk, a much higher percentage shot. The team's exterior passing is coming along nicely, leading to open 3s, but we're missing Walton's drives, drawing the defense, and dishing for easy dunks/layups. We'll get there because Beilein...

This has been the craziest year for coaching changes in quite some time. It probably isn't over either. There will be one or two who are canned after the bowl games, and then you still have the coaching carousel going on as the opennings are filled. Last one filled is usually screwed.
